2 Kings 11
11
1And when ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord] the mother of Achazyah [Yehovah possesses] saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2But Y’hosheva [Yehovah has sworn], the daughter of king Yoram [Yehovah is exalted], sister of Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], took Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] the son of Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], and stole him from among the king’s sons [which were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord], so that he was not slain.
3And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) six years. And ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord] did reign over the land.
4And the seventh year Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and showed them the king’s son.
5And he commanded them, saying, This [is] the thing that you2f shall do; A tles hird part of you that enter in on the Shabbat [Rest] shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
6And a third part [shall be] at the gate of Sur [turning aside]; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall you2f keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7And two parts of all you that go forth on the Shabbat [Rest], even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) about the king.
8And you2f shall compass (go around, encircle; encompass) the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that comes within the ranges, let him be slain: and be you2f with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.
9And the captains over the hundreds did according to all [things] that Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the Shabbat [Rest], with them that should go out on the Shabbat [Rest], and came to Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest.
10And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s [beloved]’s spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
11And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the temple.
12And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king!
13And when ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord] heard the noise of the guard [and] of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
14And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the custom [was], and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord] rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason!
15But Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Bring her forth out past the ranks [of guards]: and him that follows her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
16And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.
17And Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] made a covenant between the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] people; between the king also and the people.
18And all the people of the land went into the house of Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan [a gift] the priest of Ba’al [lord (a false god)] before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
19And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they killed ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord] with the sword [beside] the king’s house.
21Seven years old [was] Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] when he began to reign.
